("Suddenly" by Roy Kim)
(His voice is sweet and luxurious.)
(Is my part coming out yet?)
(The genius ballad singer is back.)
It ends like this.
Hey.
Which part is similar to what Yeong Ja sang?
It contains the word "suddenly".
- Suddenly, suddenly. - My song has it too.
I am a huge fan of Gummy's original soundtracks.
- She's the best. - Thank you.

Which song is that?
It's different.

I am Song Hye Gyo.

(She's the fairy of ballad.)
(Thank you for delighting us!)
- Gummy. - Yes.
- You become prettier whenever I see you. - Right.
- I don't know about it. - You're like an actress.
- Don't say that. - Is it because she's in love?
Yes. I am still very much in love.
(She's jealous.)
Do you listen to other people's worries?

- Relationship problems. - problems most of the time.
When I debuted, I wrote "counselling" as my hobby.
So you are in the right place.

Do you usually give good advice on relationships?

I look a little more mature...

I knew he was different.
You recognized him.

"My Hoarder Husband".
- "Extreme Life". - "A Thorough Man".
It will be fun if you put yourself in her shoes.
"My Hoarder Husband".
Hello, I'm someone who's been married for 10 years.
I will introduce Mr. I Won't Throw Out Anything.
Many people are troubled by this problem.
- There's one person in every family. - Right.
"Honey, this pen is not working. Can I throw it away?"
"No."
"Okay."
"Goodness."
"When is this Chinese character dictionary from?"
- Chinese character dictionary. - That's old.
These days, people just use their phones.
You don't know what it is, do you?
You don't know what it is, do you, Roy?
- I've never heard of it. - It's a dictionary.
"Goodness, this dictionary is so old."
"Can I throw it out?"
"No!"
"This ripped post box is garbage, right?"
"No! Don't throw away anything! Please!"
He can't even throw away a post box.
I tried throwing away a few things...
without letting my husband know.
- Does he know? - He came home and said,
"What? Honey!"
"Where is 'Japanese for Beginners'?"
"I put on in the second shelf."
(He knows where he put what.)
Goodness.
- He must be smart. - He remembers everything.
"It's missing."
- "Did you throw it away?" - That's crazy.
- "Japanese for Beginners". - Hiragana.
The entire family is about to get buried in garbage.
Please help me so that I can get rid of all the junk.
(She's worried about her husband's hoarding habit.)
That's a serious problem.
My father also doesn't throw away anything.
How serious is he?
At home, we have 11 blenders.
We have about four desktop computers.
One time, my phone dropped while I was sleeping.
When I pulled the bed to get it,
I found four blenders.
(He found 4 blenders underneath his bed.)
Did your father put those there?
He hid those there.
Whenever I'm done with exams,
I throw away all my books at once. I love the feeling.
I throw away books very well.
- I throw them away as soon as I finish. - Right.
- "I don't want to see it!" - "I don't want it!"
Right. I enjoy that.
Let's invite her in and talk to her.
Please come on in.
(Who's the lady with a hoarder husband?)
(Hong Kyung Sook)
(Hello!)
- Hello. - This way, please.
Hello.
Please take off your shoes.
You're 39. How old is your husband this year?
He's 41 years old.
- He's 41. And he hoards. - He's not old.
When something enters the house, it never leaves.
- It never leaves. - Once it enters, it never leaves.
- It never leaves. - It never leaves.
Most of the things are about 30 years old.
We have about 5 to 6 desktop computer sets.
We have about 10 mice and keyboards.
He also keeps cards that have expired.
Usually people cut them and throw them away.
Yes. But he collects them.
He once represented our building residents.
- Was he? - He kept all the papers from meetings.
- So we have big piles of papers. - What is...
- He collects them. - so important about...
- the meeting transcripts? - I know.
Why does he collect expired cards?
He said he's got reasons.
What's the reason?
- What's the reason? - Only he knows the reason.
- Has he always been like this? - I didn't know.
- Of course. - When we got married,
I started to find things that made me wonder...
- why he's keeping them. - You started to find them.
I couldn't understand him. And I started...
getting a little annoyed.
(She learned the truth about her husband.)
I want to visit her house.
- Right? - Her house must be big.
- I think it'd be fun. - How can everything fit in?
- How can everything fit in the house? - Is...
- your house big? - It has to be.
- It has to be a mansion. - We lived in a 100㎡ house.
But my father-in-law was alone, so we moved near him.
And this house is only 50㎡.
It has three rooms,
but my husband needed a storage.
He moved the children's furniture to the living room,
and he took over their room.
- How do you sleep? - Our two kids...
sleep in the room where we keep all the clothes.
My husband is 177cm tall,
so he's too tall to sleep in any of the rooms.
The living room is quite spacious,
- I'm curious. - so we sleep in the living room.
Sometimes we eat in front of the bathroom.
- Goodness. - It feels bad when we do.
We asked her for some pictures.
- I want to see it. - Do we get to see it?
- Yes. - Let's check her house.
(Let's check the pictures.)
- That's tough. - That room is...
- That's serious. - That's the problematic room.
It doesn't look like a home.
- Right. - It's quite organized.
- It's... - Are there more?
It looks like a storage.
- Goodness. - They sleep in the living room.
Goodness.
They sleep in the living room.
- What's that? - How many are they?
How many are they?
Look at those old cell phones.
- Look at that old phone. - It's very old.
The one on the far left.
(Goodness)
Can't you just throw away everything?
I tried many things of course. I tried everything.
Whenever I ask him if I can throw away something,
he says I can't because it bears memories.
- "Don't you remember? It's from 1999." - Yes.
Every time I ask about something, he says it's...
meaningful and that he can't throw it away.
So in the end, nothing gets thrown away.
- Everything is meaningful. - So...
Why do you ask? You can just throw it again.
When we just got married, I threw away...
some books and clothes without telling him.
And he knew it the next day.
- And he asked where I put them. - How does he know?
He remembers where everything is.
So he got really upset.
He was really upset.
(She's frustrated.)
Let's talk to her husband about why he hoards.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
- All right. - All those things are yours, right?
Yes, they are all mine.
Over how many years have you been collecting them?
I've had them since elementary school.
So I started collecting 25 to 30 years ago.
My mom didn't throw away things.
And I am quite possessive.
I thought everything would prove to be useful one day.
That's why I started collecting everything.
When will you use them?
- You can't use them. - All right.
Let's bring in some of his things and let him...
explain what meaning each of them bears.
- Okay. - Please bring the things in.
I am curious.
- Look at that. - Look at those encyclopedias.
Encyclopedias.
Goodness.
It's like the things from a museum.
Look at those computers.
(I'm tired of them.)
Look at that. Is that a computer?
That's something.
(Goodness)
Isn't that the earliest model?
- It won't even turn on. - It's yellow.
(It must be very old.)
It must be like a 386.
(Why is he keeping these?)
(Why can't he throw them away?)
(Let's travel down his memory lane.)
There's a pager.
- Please stand in the middle. - There's a pager.
Goodness.
- There are three pagers. - There are pagers.
Look at this.
There are old phones.
This is so-called "PCS cell phone".
- Let me see. - Does it still work?
Can I see it?
This is crazy.
Can you get this?
(It's an old phone.)
- Isn't it amazing? - It's turning on.
- It can be turned on. - Wait.
- Let me see. - Everything still works.
Why does he...
I've never seen that.
- It's turning on. - It can be turned on.
(Dong Yeob finds something.)
- What's this? - Everything still works.
This is the sausage box. Why did he...
(He opens the box.)
They are marbles!
Marbles! Marbles!
- Marbles! - They are marbles!
- It's turning on. - How can it still work?
(He opens another box.)
(It's filled with marbles of different colors.)
Look at these marbles.
- This is fascinating. - Look at these marbles.
- Goodness. - I haven't seen them for so long.
- Right. - I used to do this.
- They're the colored ones. - We played games.
- We played games. - We did this.
- We played with these. - You have to hit it.
Is this it?
Be careful.
(The marbles are everywhere.)
(You can't lose any of it.)
- You can't lose any of it. - Hey.
There is a sexy picture here.
(Is there a sexy picture in his phone?)
(A sexy picture?)
There is a sexy picture here.
(She takes the phone.)
(She's surprised.)
Her eyes became big.
(She was too shocked.)
Who is this?
Is this Kim Tae Hee?
(Who is the girl in the phone?)
(Who is she?)
It's the default background.
- It's the default one. - It's the default.
It's not a sexy picture. It's an actress.
- Is she a model? - It's a default background.
Is this the reason you can't toss it?
That's not it.
(No)
Why are all the phones charged?
- I charge them sometimes. - Do you?
- You charge them? - Why? You don't use these.
I still use some of them.
- What? - Does it work?
- Yes. - If it still works,
you must be paying the phone bill.
- It's nostalgic. - It's free for old phones.
I didn't know there were sausages like this.
It doesn't cost me anything.
- Is that right? - Yes.
(He makes sure they are still usable.)
- By the way... - It still works.
- Should we ask him about each one? - It works.
- Why are they worth keeping? - Are they glasses?
I had this too.
- I had this too. - I want one.
- It's Mickey Mouse. - Right.
- It's very clean. - It's pretty.
There's a multiplication table in the back.
- It looks great. - Look at the back.
- What? - Really?
It says "Multiplication Law".
(That proves that it's old.)
(That's why I collect them.)
It's the plastic sheet from 1988.
- It's from the '88 Olympics. - It's a plastic sheet.
What is this?
(What is this?)
"Kang Kang 69".
(The title is strange.)
Look at this.
(They don't need to say more.)
(We get why he'd want to keep it.)
I'm sure it came out in the 1969.
The computer can be turned on too.
- Can it really? - Can it?
It doesn't work, but it can be turned on.
The keyboard has a different arrangement.
(It's from the 1980s.)
Why do you keep that?
It works. That's why I keep it.
- Does it work? - But you can't use it.
It's not booting.
You have to insert a disc to boot.
- That's how old it is. - You need a disc.
- It's so old. - I see.
This shows how old it is.
Look at the way "service center" is written.
- It's... - Look at this.
"Service center".
(It's written in the old way.)
I never knew that.
- "Service center". - "Service center".
I studied with that computer.
I majored in computer science,
and I work in IT industry.
- That memory is making me keep it. - Right.
(How can I throw it away?)
- Look at this. It's an inkstone. - An inkstone.
- That's so old. - Do you use this?
My first daughter used it recently.
- Did she? - Yes.
Did she use it for the first time?
Congratulations.
It was used again after 30 years.
- Good thing you kept it. - For 30 years.
- Congratulations. - It's been 30 years.
- There's even an inkstone. - What's this now?
Did you use this when you were young?
- Yes, I did. - These are Canadian coins.
I used to use this too.
Why am I starting to understand why he hoards?
- It's... - It's bringing back my memories.
(He's immersed in the memory.)
(Aren't they supposed to help me?)
- You could sell everything. - Right.
In the past, a lot of people collected stamps.
- A lot of people did. - What's this?
- He collected a lot of stamps. - Many did.
- There are Christmas seals. - Christmas seals.
- For tuberculosis patients. - There's money.
(There's money!)
- It's... - This is the most expensive one.
There are 10-dollar bills too.
(He's very proud.)
This is meaningful.
- This is the old 1-dollar bill. - It is.
- This is the old 10-dollar bill. - This is new.
- Right. - This is how the new ones look.
- The old ones are big. - It used to be bigger.
This is the old 10-dollar bill.
That's the old 10-dollar bill.
- It's quite nice. - It's the old bill.
It's the old bill.
He's got this too.
(It's actually quite nice.)
- He's got all. - He's got the recent ones too.
He kept these for later.
- It must worth quite a lot. - Exactly.
I want it even more now.
(This is not what I wanted.)
I'm curious about this.
The bills.
Is this 10 years worth?
I collected since 2004, so it's been over 10 years.
Why did you collect this?
Sometimes we are charged the wrong amount.
So we need to keep the bill for a few months.
That's why...
- I started keeping them. - By the way,
- I have a personal request. - Okay.
- What is this? - Can I keep this?
- What's wrong with you? - It brings back memories.
I remember drawing on it. It brings back that memory.
That's why he can't throw it away.
- Can you give it to me? - Goodness.
(Will he be able to part with it?)
- Can you give it to me? - Well...
Fine. I'll give it to you.
(He gives it to Tae Gyun.)
(She's happy to finally get rid of one thing.)
What is this?
It looks like a magnifying glass.
(He's thrilled.)
- These are so small. - That brings back memories...
for Tae Gyun, and this does that for me. Can I keep it?
(He asks for the scrapbook.)
When I was little...
(He shakes his head.)
Really.
I cried and smiled over these guys.
(He's very crafty.)
(I can't give that up.)
- Sir. - Yes.
Which one is the most precious thing for you?
- Is it this scrapbook? - It's not here.
- Is it not here? - No.
It's a car.
It's Hyundai Galloper which came out in 1993.
- Galloper. - Galloper.
- It came out in 1993. - It's not that old.
I use it to go to work.
He kept it very clean.
The foothold is severely dented.
It's nice.
- That's... - It's tough to get it fixed, right?
- I can't get it fixed easily. - It's vintage.
When I try to fix it,
I might break it.
So I was told to drive it carefully.
But that's...
- But it's not safe. - I don't really want that car.
- What? - It's not safe to drive an old car.
- Is your family aware? - I get it checked regularly,
and the mechanic told me it's still fine.
- Does the air conditioner work? - Do you want...
Do you want to take anything from here?
I didn't check what you have.
All right. This is fun.
(Chan Woo goes to get something.)
- You get indulged in memories. - Do you want these?
(They are "Hello" souvenirs.)
No.
You should take these.
(It's okay.)
I insist you take these.
(Chan Woo forces him.)
(Please take it.)
I will see you in 20 years.
(See you in 20 years.)
Bring them here after 20 years.
We once got into a trouble because of the car.
Your car is 24 years old.
Because the car is old,
- It goes crazy. - it honks by itself...
whenever we go over a bump.
One time,
it started honking by itself at 2am.
And someone reported it to the police.
So we got a call from the police.
- Why did it do that? - And it's not air-conditioned.
(The air conditioning is broken.)
- Is it broken? - It is.
- Goodness. - It doesn't work.
So most of the time, we roll down the windows.
- That car gets really hot inside. - Or...
there are always four fans inside the car.
- We use that. - Do you do it while driving?
(Each family member gets one.)
Isn't it better to get a new car that's safe?
You have kids.
My kids love my car.
The car is big, so they can sit in the back.
(We love it.)
- They love it. - They don't mind it.
But do they like it when it's hot inside?
We just have to sweat for one season.
- We got fans too. - That's...
Have they been in another car?
- They... - Have they been in a nice car?
- Right. That's it. - That's it.
- Right. - If you get a new car,
they will be happier.
A sedan is too low.
So they get car sick inside.
(What's the point of talking?)
I heard...
your girls sleep uncomfortably too.
- Yes. - Don't you think you are...
being a nuisance to your family?
I think I am causing a little bit of nuisance.
Just a little bit?
But they bring back memories.
And my children sometimes use them.
- Right. - I wonder...
- what they think of his habit. - Right.
- Right. Let's ask them. - They will learn from it.
Let's talk to the girls.
Hello.
- Hello. - How old are you?
- The elder one? - I am 10.
Do you use the supplies you inherited from your dad?
I use the color pencils, lined notebooks,
and a recorder.
Do you like using those?
- A recorder? - A recorder?
- You use your dad's recorder. - A recorder.
How is it?
- It's just okay. - Right?
I know you want to say "It's rubbish."
(We know how you feel.)
You can't say it because he's next to you.
(She feels pressured.)
Do you want him to get rid of some things?
Yes.
Which things do you want to see go?
Pens that are dried out.
- Dried out pens. - Dried out pens.
Dried out pens.
That's one.
When you touch your dad's things,
how does he react?
He hates it.
Do you not touch his things because he hates it?
(He made them timid.)
Her father-in-law came...
to support her.
Hello.
Hello!
It's like "National Singing Contest".
(An Sang Hyeon, father-in-law)
("National Worry Contest")
It's like "National Singing Contest".
(He's full of energy.)
My son...
hoards everything in his house.
I tell him to throw away useless things.
And he says they will be antiques one day.
He says he will keep them until that time.
Do you understand your daughter-in-law's worry?
- Of course. - You must have really wanted to talk.
Perhaps your son takes after you.
He said you were a bit like him in the past.
I may have been a bit like that.
When he got married,
he became meticulous and attentive.
It was like that in every way.
That's why...
I don't understand his train of thoughts.
Was your son like this since childhood?
Yes.
It was like that.
He always says, "It was like that."
Would you please elaborate?
People from Chungcheong Province understand.
"It was like that."
You mean your son is too much like that, right?
Yes.
All right.
(Her ally didn't help her much.)
How do you remember where everything is?
You said earlier that...
I take pictures to check the locations.
- Pictures? - Yes, I take pictures...
to see where things were at any given day.
- He takes pictures every day. - If I can't do that,
I make Excel files to remember where everything is.
Every item comes with special memories and meanings...
for him. If it isn't overly inconvenient,
can't you be more understanding?
I can try to be more understanding,
but he only values the things that belong to him.
When children leave behind their crafts,
he throws them away. He tells us not to make a mess.
He thinks they are trash.
Why do you throw other people's things?
- That's wrong. - Your daughters' things.
They leave their crafts laying around the floor.
I throw them away as I clean the place.
Those crafts contain memories of childhood.
Your disks and cell phones are trash to your daughters.
- That's right. - I tell them not to touch my things.
He is a bit selfish.
What's the hardest part that urged you to send a worry?
He doesn't clean the apartment. I do.
He left his documents everywhere.
I gathered them to clean up.
He woke up the next day and scolded me for that.
I get criticized for cleaning up the house.
She touches my things like a mole.
It makes me angry.
To avoid my things, she only has the floor to clean.
Isn't it more convenient?
(His comment makes her blood pressure rise.)
(His comment begs the buttons to be pressed.)
Let's have an honest conversation.
I think a part of you believes...
that the value of your things will go up...
and help you make money.
I don't keep my things as a mean of an investment.
You only keep them for memories.
- Yes. - You only keep them for memories.
It would be nice if that's his only purpose.
At cafes and such,
he gets items...
they give away for free.
He brought back a washing machine and a rice cooker.
What did you do with the ones you had before?
He said he will think about what to do with them.
He will think about what to do with them.
- He can't throw them out. - It takes time...
for items to leave the house.
Why can't you throw them away? You have new ones.
The previous washing machine is from our newlywed days.
Every item has a meaning.
- It's from your newlywed days. - Yes.
You are making memories with the new washing machine.
(The memories start now.)
It's okay to keep things,
but you live in a 50m² apartment.
It's a place you share with your wife and children.
Since you only fill it up with your things,
- your wife is worried. - That's right.
What's the biggest worry you have?
My daughters fight a lot since their desks are close.
Since they are at the age to focus on their studies,
we rented another space above our apartment.
We use that apartment, too.
- That solves the problem. - It does.
- We pay monthly rent. - It takes a lot of money.
The monthly rent is 450 dollars for an apartment.
For two apartments, the amount is doubled.
I am worried that...
my husband will bring in more things...
since there is space now.
I want him to promise to throw away a few things.
- You want a promise. - Yes.
You pride yourself in being thrifty.
Don't you think you are paying to keep your memories?
I am,
but it doesn't hurt me economically.
I feel a bit bad, but...
You are missing something that is very important.
Memories of seeing your children growing up...
and experiences you had with your wife...
are the most precious.
You don't share your life with your children.
You dedicate your time and energy...
to things from your childhood.
It seems foolish to me.
Since you are here,
- be firm in your position. - That's right.
Tell him what he doesn't need.
There are cables for computer and such...
as well as boxes...
and cases that came with products.
He doesn't throw them away.
They are empty.
- Empty cases. - Bills.
They aren't needed.
- You want him to throw away the bills. - Yes.
Wait a minute. So, bills.
I will take pictures and get rid of them.
- Do that. - Bills are taken care of.
- Boxes. - Empty cases.
Products and cases...
are a set.
I will talk to my wife at home.
Don't be ridiculous.
- Don't be ridiculous. - For goodness' sake.
- Nonsense. - You need to decide right now.
He is so annoying.
This is driving me crazy.
(Get it together, Son.)
Tell him what's on your mind.
I think we should have things with our memories...
- since we are married. - That's right.
I hope you would make space for that.
Empty space makes the best interior.
One time, I met a female diver at Jeju Island.
(How are female diver and interior related?)
She gave me a big abalone.
That sounds delicious.
I had to empty my bowels.
- Your stomach was too full. - I had to empty it.
Your apartment is too full.
You need to practice emptying out the space.
Otherwise, you will always be bound to the past.
- That's right. - You should live in the present.
- That's a nice saying. - You need to do that...
to have a future.
Let's start with Roy. Do you think it's a worry?
- Please press the button. - I understand...
the sentiment of wanting to keep...
- the old cell phones. - That's right.
However, Hyung Sook's husband only keeps his things.
It must be hard.
I think you should make new memories with your family.
Your daughters won't have anything from childhood.
I think you will feel bad about it.

I will throw away boxes and cables as you want.

(She finally smiles.)
It's a big decision.
(Please keep your promise.)

The next worry is from a girl in eighth grade. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
- Eighth grade. - That's right.
Hello, I am an eighth grader who works at a hair salon.
- My goodness. - Is it my dream to be a hairdresser?
No, it's not. My mom is hairdresser.
I am my mom's slave.
(I am my mom's slave.)
"Mom, may I play with my friends today?"
"Shut it. You have work. Don't be ridiculous."
"Sweep the floor. Wash the dye bowls. Hurry up."
"Wash the perm machine and fold the towels."
I have lived like this for five years.
- She is in 8 grade. - She is in 8 grade.
My goodness.
I want to stop working at the hair salon...
and live my life.
Please persuade my mom.
(Please give me back my life.)
That's a hard life.
We helped with household chores back in the days,
but children don't do that these days.
- It's rare. - She must be nice.
That's right. Shall we talk to her?
Roy, why don't you go to meet her?
- Okay. - Please come on out.
(Who works all day to help her mom?)
How pretty!
(Kwon Do Kyung)
- How cute! - She is very cute.
Hello.
She is very cute.
- Look at her. - Hello.
She is skinny from all the hard work.
- Please sit down. - All right.
- She is very cute. - She is cute.
Since when did you start working?
I started working in fourth grade.
At that time, I didn't know what I was doing.
You know now.
- Go on. - I helped her here and there.
The work is too hard these days.
I see.
On weekdays, I work from 4:30pm to 8pm.
What about on weekends?
On weekends, I work from 9am to 8pm.
What do you do?
Well,
I... What am I talking about?
(Slapping)
My goodness.
- Don't slap yourself. - Don't do that.
I am sorry. I shouldn't have asked.
I didn't mean to do that.
Don't do that.
- I'm sorry. - My goodness.
Hit me instead, okay?
What do you do?
She is stressed out from working at an early age.
What do you do?
While my mom does customers' hair,
- I sweep the floor. - You sweep the floor.
And wash the dye bowls. It takes an hour...
to wash the perming machine.
During breaks, about 15 customers...
get their hair permed at the hair salon.
The process will take you 15 hours.
I wash three at the time.
I am sorry.
It takes about five hours.
- It can be annoying to help out a stranger. - Yes.
Doesn't it feel satisfying to help out your mom?
Work at the hair salon is hard enough,
but she makes me do all kinds of chores.
What kind of chores?
There was a dead pigeon in front of the hair salon.
She asked me to remove it.
(Remove the dead pigeon right now.)
- That must have been scary. - Yes.
I cried my eyes out as I removed it.
My mom stood by and watched. It was annoying.
(She stood by and watched.)
- She must give you a lot of allowances. - Right.
- She must pay you. - I am sure she did.
The minimum wage is...
6 dollars and 47 cents.
She is smart.
- Go on. - She is meticulous.
However, I receive two dollars a day.
(She receives two dollars a day.)
- Two dollars? - No way.
Report her to Ministry of Employment and Labor.
That's illegal.
- I receive 15 dollars a week. - 15 dollars.
I think it's unfair.
Have you tried asking her for more?
She doesn't give me more.
- What is wrong with her? - Let's talk to her.
We should talk to her.
Hello.
It's nice to meet you.
She is young.
Do you understand you daughter's worry?
I don't understand.
It's work she has always done.
(Does she think it makes the work easier?)
The chores don't require her to work all day.
She doesn't work all day.
Do you think she is making a fuss for no reason?
That's right.
What she does is nothing compared to what I do.
I don't think the chores are that hard.
Do you make your son work, too?
He is in high school.
My goodness.
I mean...
That doesn't mean anything.
Did you make him work when he was in middle school?
He went to extra lessons in middle school.
(He was busy with extra lessons.)
(I want to go to extra lessons, too.)
You should get an employee.
I don't want to do that.
- Why not? - Why not?
Staff is called "Gold staff" these days.
That's how hard it is to find help at hair salons.
When the employee I had quit,
I worked alone for six months.
The matter of employees stressed me out so much...
that I decided to work alone.
It's better to work alone than to get stressed out.
That's when my daughter began to help me.
Your daughter is getting stressed out right now.
(What started as a favor took away her free time.)
She is at the age to go through puberty.
Shouldn't you be more considerate of her?
To be honest, she started complaining...
only recently. I think she is going through puberty.
Since she began to complain so much this year,
I started to pay her.
Two dollars? That's nothing.
I follow her every wish...
without paying her.
I give her two dollars an hour to make her happy.
Don't you think...
you should look after her when she is in puberty?
I think I am going through menopause.
As the saying goes,
menopause beats puberty.
She can't win against me.
- Who said that? - I have never heard that before.
What does that even mean?
(Does the saying not exist in Seoul?)
(She is too strong.)
Even adults who get proper payment quit.
You are using this small girl without paying her much.
Don't you feel bad?
I don't feel bad, but I feel thankful.
Two dollars is too much.
I don't think it's too much.
It's not an hourly wage.
She spends money as she likes. She eats what she wants.
Why are you getting mad at me?
I didn't do anything bad.
Is she telling the truth?
My allowances are so small that I had nothing left...
after I buy class T-shirts...
and school supplies.
- Of course. - What is this?
- Seriously. - This is what happens.
She needs money in the morning.
"I have to buy supplies." When I try to give her money,
she says, "I will use my money."
She says that.
- That's right. - Why do you do that?
I don't. She is lying through her teeth.
What is going on?
(She lies on top of everything.)
(She is a strange woman.)
Are you a liar?
For goodness' sake.
- Tell us what actually happens. - Wait a minute.
Be quiet. She will talk.
- Tell us honestly. - Tell us.
I have never said that. You told me to use my money.
I told you to use your money if you have some left.
When did you say that?
You are doing a good job.
She is always defiant.
I struggle more than her.
Then you shouldn't make her work.
- She isn't defiant. - Ma'am.
Let's listen to her first.
- I have no words. - You use your money for supplies.
Can't you ask your mom...
to give you money for school supplies?
- She is scary. - She is scary.
I can't speak well in front of her.
I see.
We have a video of her working at the hair salon.
Let's watch it together.
(Do Kyung is folding towels.)
It's clean and nice.
My goodness.
Wash these, too.
(She is washing perming equipment.)
The chemicals will hurt her hands.
My goodness.
(She must sweep the floor endlessly.)
There are no customers. What is her mom doing?
(Do Kyung is working by herself.)
She hangs up the towels.
(She hangs up the towels.)
Get the towels on the chairs, too.
(She receives payment, organizes equipment.)
Where is her mom?
(Where is her mom?)
She is sitting down.
That's too much.
(Do Kyung works while her mom rests.)
My goodness.
She is a mean boss.
For goodness' sake.
Who took the video?
A regular customer did.
I thought Do Kyung's mom took it since she was nowhere.
Me, too.
You have endured the work for five years.
What made you visit the show?
I am in middle school.
- I need my own time. - That's right.
I do household chores, too.
- You do household chores. - That's a lot of work.
What do you do?
I wash the dishes after meals...
and hang up laundry.
- What does your mom do? - She watches TV.
My goodness.
I want to play with my friends,
but she doesn't let me.
Do you friends exclude you?
No, they don't. When they go out to play,
they don't even ask me because they know...
I will work at the hair salon.
They don't think about playing with you.
(I want to play with my friends.)
Why does she do household chores?
It's not like that.
She has worked at the hair salon since fourth grade.
She has done household chores since second grade.
(She has done household chores since second grade.)
Listen.
(My goodness.)
What is she, an evil stepmother?
I thought she would say she hasn't done them for long.
She has done them for longer.
When she was in second grade,
she offered to help when I was doing the dishes.
She wanted to do the dishes.
She was very good at it.
She helped you out of kindness.
- That's right. - Then you began to exploit her.
- I didn't exploit her. - You began to overwork her.
It just became her job.
It became a habit.
- That's right. - You don't even feel bad...
- about making your daughter work. - That's right.
As we all saw in the video,
you were sitting down when she was doing the laundry.
You watch TV when she does the dishes at home.
I am obsessed with TV.
What?
(My goodness.)
- This is ridiculous. - What are you talking about?
Don't be that way.
This is ridiculous.
I keep the TV on even when I am working.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
After that one time, did your daughter say,
"I want to keep doing the dishes"?
She didn't say she doesn't want to do them.
If she says she doesn't want to work anymore,
will you leave her be?
I can't do that now.
Why not?
- That doesn't make any sense. - Why not?
Even if she stays home instead of working...
It's how I raise my children.
My son wasn't allowed to go out until ninth grade.
You don't let them meet their friends.
They see their friends at school anyway.
Except for a day after exams,
she tells me to study...
at the hair salon. It's frustrating.
- You won't be able to focus. - At the hair salon,
- you study and work. - You alternate.
- Yes. - Did you work after school...
during your middle school days?
My mom didn't let me work...
since she thought it would bring more work in my life.
Then why do you make your daughter work?
She digs herself into a hole every time she speaks.
Listen.
(She digs herself into a hole every time she speaks.)
When children don't work,
they don't appreciate their parents' hard work.
I thought my children should know otherwise.
I think she knows enough.
Seriously.
Is there something else your mom doesn't allow...
other than playing with friends?
I don't have a cell phone.
- What? - You are in eighth grade.
- Elementary schoolers have them. - Why don't you...
give her a cell phone?
- You have a lot of cell phones. - Give her one.
- Give her a slider phone. - Go on.
Why don't you have a cell phone?
She says children who play games on cell phones...
- look indecent. - Indecent?
That's why she doesn't buy me one.
However, she has games in her cell phone.
- She plays games. - Yes.
Don't you need cell phone for school these days?
That's right. It's a necessity.
My classmates and the teacher have a group chat room.
- A group chat room. - Yes.
It's inconvenient because I don't have a cell phone.
It keeps her from talking to her teacher.
It's how I raise my children.
It's a lousy way.
You won't feel uncomfortable...
if you don't have smartphones from the start.
You go crazy if you go without it after owning it.
Until my children become university students...
Your son doesn't have one either.
- No, he doesn't. - Really?
You only work at the hair salon.
Why do you need a smartphone?
That's different.
- Why do you play games? - Why?
- I... - That's bad education.
Are you a game fanatic?
- Are you a game fanatic? - She must be.
- She is. - You're a game and TV fanatic.
You're a fanatic.
(She's a fanatic mother.)
She said I'm not allowed to have a boyfriend,
and that I can get one when I go to college.
Can't you have a boyfriend in secret?
I don't have time.
- She doesn't have time. - Right.
- No. - She can meet people only if she goes out.
Did anyone like you?
Of course not. Look at my face.
- Why not? - You're pretty.
You're pretty and cute.
She lost confidence because her mom makes her work.
She educates her in ways that I don't understand.
What do you hope for your daughter...
in the future?
Based on my life experience...
What kind of experience?
I lived a normal life.
My mother let me do whatever I wanted.
Her priority in life is her children.
While I was growing up, I did everything I wanted.
Did you think that was a wrong way to raise a child?
- That's right. - Why?
If my mother didn't trust me so easily...
and put some restrictions,
I might have studied harder.
Then shouldn't you let your daughter study?
She studied very hard at the salon until last year.
At the salon?
Yes. She studied hard and got good grades.
Since last November, she complained about studying.
I think she hit puberty.
She doesn't want to study, so she keeps blaming that...
- she works too much. - How could you say that?
- She was fine before. - Now that she hit puberty,
you should try to be more understanding.
You haven't given her...
- a chance to focus on studying. - That's right.
I'm not sure if she'll study.
Do you prefer that she keeps working...
if she doesn't want to study?
I think that's better.
Ma'am, you never gave her a chance to study.
Do you want to go to a private institute after school?
- Yes. - With friends?
If your mom lets you study at a private institute,
by how much can you raise your grades?
I can rank top 20 in my grade.
- Can you do that? - Yes.
I don't want to send her to private institutes.
- Why not? - Her brother went to one,
but his grades got worse.
- That's your son. - That's different.
She's never been to one.
It was very difficult for him...
to raise his grades again.
Your son and daughter...
- They're different. - could be completely different.
I'm not sure yet.
(Give her a chance.)
Does Dad say anything about you studying at the salon?
Dad tries to comfort me. It's just...
- Mom. - Does he give in to her?
Yes.
Are other members of your family here?
I asked Dad and my brother,
but they refused because it's only my problem.
- They didn't come. - They show her no interest.
In case you think that I'm lying,
I invited two regular customers.
Regular customers?
- They aren't your brothers? - Really?
- They aren't her brothers. - I thought they were.
I thought they were her brothers.
I thought so too.
- Me too. - Me too.
Did you invite them yourself?
Goodness.
I've never introduced myself to them.
Since Mom always orders me to sweep the floor,
do this and do that,
they call me Miss Do Kyung.
- Miss Do Kyung? - Miss Do Kyung?
Miss Do Kyung?
Bring me some water, Miss Do Kyung.
- She's so cute. - Miss Do Kyung.
How do you usually call her?
I call her, "Miss Do Kyung."
- Gosh. - That's funny.
Do you understand her worry?
Yes, I do.
When I see Miss Do Kyung...
always at the salon cleaning,
- I feel bad for her. - Of course.
How would you feel in her shoes?
I'd have quit already.
Her puberty can get worse.
I hope her mother will be more understanding.
How did you start going to their salon?
I'm friends with her brother.
You keep calling her Miss Do Kyung.
Do you have feelings for her?
She's great, but I don't have feelings.
Although you didn't have much time to study,
did you get good enough grades?
Otherwise, Mom said she'll make me a hairdresser.
(A hairdresser?)
She set her daughter's future.
You must be frustrated.
Your own opinion is important.
Do you know what you want to be?
I want to be a TV producer.
TV producer?
- That's impressive. - He's a producer.
- Say hello. - That's right.
(It's nice to meet you.)
She's so cute.
You have to study hard to be a producer.
Isn't your wife also a producer?
Some people don't know I'm married, so be quiet.
- Gosh, I'm sorry. - He lost his mind.
Do you want to produce dramas or documentaries?
I really like variety shows.
Variety shows?
Ma'am.
What you say may be reasonable if she has no dream,
but her thoughts are different.
I already know.
Being a TV producer isn't easy.
- You should give her a chance. - Why can't she be?
Why don't you believe in her?
She doesn't study hard enough.
- Give her a chance. - That's your perspective.
- Ma'am. - Before I give her a chance,
if I see her study hard first...
Why is there a condition?
- Why do you set her limits? - You didn't let her.
I'm not sure if she's capable.
You understand it the wrong way.
You didn't provide an environment where she can study.
She might have helped you in the beginning,
but she's getting tired because it's prolonged.
Besides, she's still young.
Please consider what comes first.
You should stop making her work...
whether she studies hard or not.
- You should stop making her work. - Right.
At her age, she needs to be with friends and play.
She wants to study and go to private institutes.
She thinks she can't do anything because of work.
Once she enters high school, she can't work anyway.
- Ma'am. - She doesn't want to work.
Violence isn't always physical.
Doing something you hate is worse than being spanked.
She doesn't want to do it.
What you're doing is an act of violence.
She treats her daughter unfairly compared to her son.
- Right. - That's right.
- What do you think? - I can sense it.
Usually, she calls my brother handsome,
but she calls me ugly.
I'd understand if he actually is.
You'd make great variety shows.
You have talent.
When she goes shopping for clothes,
she only buys clothes for my brother.
- Not yours? - No.
When my brother's school needs a proctor,
she volunteers to help without hesitation.
When my school needs a proctor,
she complains.
- She discriminates unconsciously. - Right.
As I mentioned, my son is a junior in high school.
He's so busy that I hardly see him.
You call your son "my son",
but you don't call her "my daughter".
That's because she's...
My daughter is in front of me.
My son isn't here.
What about volunteering as a proctor?
That's because...
the new principal at my daughter's school...
She suddenly calls her "my daughter".
You don't have to say "my son" even if he isn't here.
Why did you say that?
You called her "my daughter".
Her principal used to teach at my high school.
He complains a lot because of Kim Young Ran Act.
Why do you mention that?
I'm being serious.
Why did you buy clothes only for your son?
You went to shop for hers.
He looks good in most clothes.
Pardon me?
The things you say...
- You discriminate against her. - are discriminatory.
I can't buy clothes that look bad on her.
Do you think your mom loves you?
No.
(No)
- Goodness. - This is important.
- That's only your opinion. - Please wait.
What does love mean to you?
Acting like my mom's mom.
- Like your grandmother? - Yes.
- Is it complimenting you? - Yes.
- Is it doing what you want? - Being open.
Being open?
What's most important for her...
is that she has no freedom.
- She should be free to think. - What...
- would she do with freedom? - Come on.
- There's no one at home. - Ma'am.
Please listen.
- What's wrong with her? - She has a dream.
Don't you want your daughter to be happier?
What would make her happy?
- Let her do what she wants. - Let her.
- What do you think? - I hope she understands me.
I will sweep the floor.
I hope you'll wash the equipment at the salon.
Let me live my life.
(Let me live my life.)
- She's asking you to let her live her life. - Ma'am.
Her life?
What do you think about this?
You shouldn't laugh at her.
Since she doesn't want to work,
I won't make her.
I'd be too worried if she goes out.
- It's dangerous out there. - No.
She can meet her friends.
- No, I can't let her. - Why not?
Is your neighborhood dangerous?
It's dangerous when they hang out in groups.
- You never know what will happen. - Ma'am.
- You were saying... - What about school?
You said she's totally different from you.
In my opinion, since you're different,
she won't deviate.
- Is that so? - Ma'am,
think about how you were when you were younger.
(He gave her a quiet blow!)
If you think about how you were younger,
you'd be worried,
but she's different, so I think it'll be okay.
How about making a promise?
You can let her get some extra lessons.
Until you come home from work,
- she'd promise you... - She'll get your permission.
and get your permission to play an hour only.
Then she'll call you and come home right away.
- She has no cell phone. - She has no cell phone.
You're worried because she has no cell phone.
Can't you give her a phone?
- If you're so worried... - That's right.
Honestly,
did you think that what you've been thinking isn't...
entirely right? That's what I'm curious about.
- Yes, suddenly. - Be honest.
It did come across my mind.
- Of course. - However, I was thinking about...
the way things can change.
- That's enough. - I hope you'll find a way.
If you want to be confident with your mom,
you need to keep your word.
Study hard, be a top student, and become a producer.
- All right. - Then you can invite your mom...
and film a documentary on her.
(A mystery show, "About My Mom")
Say a few last words to your mom.
Mom, I want to go home...
after school now.
- What a simple wish. - She wants to go home.
How is that a wish? She wants to go home after school.
- She wants to go home. - That's right.
I also want to attend private institutions,
and I want a cell phone.
Oh, dear.
Don't you love your mom?
I love you, Mom.
Do you want to be loved?
I love you, Mom.
Do you want to be loved?
(She cries before she realizes.)
Oh, dear.
You know that your mom loves you, right?
It's because she has to do everything she wants.
How you live well in the environment...
depends on you.
Become successful no matter what and become a producer.
(Show everyone how you grow up at your own will!)
All right.
I definitely think it's a worry.
She has a dream. You can't talk about it so casually.
Please don't make her give up and abandon her dream.
I think it's definitely a worry.
What you're doing now...
out of concern for Do Kyung...
- is only for yourself, not her. - That's right.
You're doing it to make you feel better.
I beg of you to think of another way no matter what.
Roy was here a few times, but he was most upset today.
Out of the four times of being on Hello,
this is a worry I don't need to think twice about.
I don't think he'll be on the show again.
He swore in English so many times just now.
(He's joking.)
Dong Yeob, did you understand those?
(Roy thinks it's a worry!)
Everyone, if you empathize with her, press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Stop pressing it. You can only press it once.
Say a few sincere words to your daughter.
Do Kyung, you know how I love you more than anyone.
I tell you several times a day.
I say "thank you" to you every day.
I'm upset because you don't know how I feel about you.
- She's upset. - Why would she be upset?
(Sighing)
- What is that? - Why is she upset, not sorry?
- It's not "sorry". - For goodness' sake.
- I thought she'd say sorry. - She's upset.
- Unbelievable. - I can't believe her.
I really thank my mom and dad.
- I'm grateful for my parents. - Go ahead.
If you really don't want to do it,
let's talk after the show.
I love you.
(We look forward to hearing a good change.)
Her mom...
What she said about...
being upset because Do Kyung doesn't understand...
must be right...
because she really loves her.
The thing is, even though Do Kyung knows,
you didn't express your love for her.
You must behave in a way so she'll feel your love.
She'll know then. You're both misunderstanding a bit.
I wonder how many votes her story got.
Show us the result.
Please.
(The last digit is 8.)
I don't think she'll change.
Is it 198?
I think it's either 178 or 168.
- 168 votes? - 168 votes.
- Is it 178? - She got 168 votes.
(Her story got 168 votes.)
Who didn't press the button?
"A Thorough Man".
Hello.
I have an immature husband of the same age.
I want to change everything about my husband.
The first part is his body...
that I want to change.
"It's disgusting. Go away!"
"Why? Don't you think the carp is jumping about?"
"Goblins are totally hot these days."
"Don't you think it'll be so cool on my chest?"
My husband is totally addicted to tattoos.
- 80 percent of his body is... - Gosh.
already covered with tattoos.
"I bled so much today."
Oh, dear.
"Honey, my body aches."
"Honey, get me some water."
"Honey, cover me with the comforter."
"Honey, put socks on my feet."
"Honey, honey, honey!"
After getting a tattoo,
he keeps shoving me around.
Thinking about living with him for the rest of...
my life suffocates me.
Please stop my husband's addiction...
to tattoos.
(Please stop my husband's addiction to tattoos!)
Do you have a tattoo?
No, I don't.
I don't think it's bad, but getting too many tattoos...
- People would see. - Too much is the problem.
Why didn't you get even one?
I consider getting a small one of letters...
- later on. - A woman's name.
- After I get married. - After you get married.
- It could be my wife's name. - Your child's name.
- Rather than my wife's name, - Think afterwards.
a common interest of ours would be better.
Why don't you want a tattoo of your wife's name?
What if things go wrong after tattooing her name?
That's right...
- After tattooing her name... - People...
- She may change her name. - She may change her name.
- You never know, - He didn't think through.
so I'm being careful.
Roy, do you have a tattoo?
I have a small one here.
- How cute. - It's tiny.
- A heart. - For love and peace.
It's like a blue mole.
(It's this tiny.)
Let's meet the lady. Please come on out!
(Who worries about her tattoo addict husband?)
(Kim Shin Young)
(Nice to meet you!)
I'm Kim Shin Young. I've been married for six years.
(She's been married for 6 years!)
Which part of his body did he get his tattoos?
I heard it's 80 percent of his body.
His face, neck, back of his hand,
- top of his feet, calves... - Back of his hand.
Everywhere except those parts.
Except those parts.
They're all tattoos like those of mobsters.
He gets dragon tattoos and fierce ones.
Did he have any tattoos before marriage?
He only had about this much on his arm before marriage,
so I wasn't really concerned.
However, after we got married, he said...
that he wants to finish off his project. Now he has...
enough tattoos to cover his body,
so I don't know how much more he'll get.
To see how many tattoos he got,
we prepared a picture of him.
- Which part is it? - My gosh.
I don't know which part, but let's see.
- That's really fierce. - How fierce.
- Doesn't it look like a folding screen? - Exactly.
- His legs. - His legs.
Are they his thighs and hips?
- They're like shorts. - It's his hips.
- Oh, dear. - My goodness.
- Gosh, that's too much. - My goodness.
(It almost doesn't look like a human body.)
- My gosh. - Why did he...
leave his stomach empty?
- It'll be funny to have a zipper. - Exactly.
He left his armpits empty.
- He waxed his armpit hair perfectly. - The middle...
- Gosh. - It'd look like an outfit when he's naked.
(My husband wears an outfit of tattoos.)
His body's covered with tattoos. Where would he get it?
- A belt on his stomach? - On his calves.
- He wants to wear long pants. - Exactly.
That's where he's talking about.
However, I don't know how far he'll go.
(She's worried about her husband getting more tattoos.)
You don't suffer much other than finding them gross.
After getting a tattoo,
I have to care for him like a woman after giving birth.
- With a tattoo? - Like a postnatal care.
(Her husband gives birth to tattoos.)
I think you must have taken care of him a lot.
That's right. I brought ointment,
turned on the heating mat,
covered him with the comforter, put socks, shoes,
- and pants on him... - It is a postnatal care.
Here's what I don't get.
After getting a tattoo...
(We all know nothing about tattoos.)
Why can't you move your body?
Roy, tell us. You have a tattoo.
- The bleeding... - How was it?
- How was it? - Could you move?
Did you take medicine?
- I got a tattoo... - Only Roy has a tattoo here.
I got a tattoo,
but I could move.
I think he's a bit of a crybaby.
No, I went with him once.
When they fill the skin with ink,
- they add shades. - They keep doing it.
After staining ink on a needle,
they keep scraping skin with it.
(Just hearing gives me pain.)
If you move a lot,
- it'll... - It grazes your skin.
No, it festers. If it festers,
you have to get the tattoo again,
so he shoves me around without moving at all.
(Why are tattoos so important to him?)
When the wounds heal, the black scabs...
come off continuously.
- It's like scabs coming off. - That's right.
It's not one scab at a time.
A whole bunch of scabs fall like this.
- Like the snake's skin. - That's right.
I have to bend my body and pick all of them up.
If I don't pick them up, they stick on my daughter's...
- face and her scalp like this. - Goodness.
The most frustrating part is,
since his pores are blocked from shoulder to calves...
- Getting tattoos blocks your pores. - That's right.
- They block your pores. - Is it true, Roy?
I have no idea!
- Does Roy have tattoo? - I have no idea.
- Stop asking. - Are your pores okay?
- They're all blocked. - I kept sweating from here.
There's nobody who has such experience.
You should've got a lot if you were going to get one.
- Where does the sweat pass then? - That's why.
He left his armpit empty.
- It may pass like this. - He'll sweat so much here.
Right, and he passes sweat through his face,
his hands, and his feet.
- His hands and feet. - Therefore, once he's...
- up from sleep, his pillow is soaked. - It's wet?
He must normally sweat a lot.
Plus, his pores are blocked. My husband sweats a lot.
I have to wash his pillow case very often,
and I spray sanitizing gel over his comforter,
and let it dry under the sun every day.
- You can't wash it every day. - He never helps me.
- He never helps you. - Seriously?
We'll meet her husband.
Hello.
- Hello. - He's handsome.
- He looks cute. - He looks cute.
Let me ask you a question. Do you feel her worry?
I don't.
Many people have tattoos these days.
When it comes to developed countries...
- Developed countries? - "Developed countries..."
I guess everyone in developed countries do that.
Even doctors and lawyers have tattoos.
I get why you would get a bit, but why do you get so many?
I think it's fancy.
- What's fancy? - How much should one get?
It's my own personality.
You express your character through tattoos...
because you lack one?
That's not it...
My tattoos are my character, and they're fancy.
(He keeps repeating the same words.)
Can you show your precious tattoos then?
- How can I show them? - Right here?
- Stand up and show us. - Just a tiny bit.
Just a bit. A bit more.
(Filled)
(Sighing)
- Behind you. - Your back.
- Your back. - Your hips.
(Shocked)
(Too many tattoos can be harmful for you.)
Could you take off your pants now?
What was that?
She screamed "no" to protect her husband.
Gosh, they're cute.
Why did you get the goblin tattoo?
They all have meanings.
I got the goblin tattoo...
because it's supposed to expel evil spirits.
- The carp is for longevity. - Longevity.
The carp holding my baby's name...
(The immature husband got a tattoo of his baby's name.)
is a recent one.
Doesn't it hurt to get a tattoo while lying down?
Your wife has to take care of you for everything.
It hurts. Tattoo is a kind of burn.
I bleed a lot from tattooing, so I use many wet wipes.
When I take a shower,
since it feels like showering on a burnt body...
Why do you keep getting more if it hurts?
I feel more proud of myself after getting a tattoo.
You got tattoos on most of your body though.
Where would you get more tattoos?
My calves.
I argue with him and yell at him.
I even told him that I'd divorce him if he gets more.
However, he said that it'd be okay to add more...
because he already has many tattoos.
Since he has tattoos on one side only,
he says that he wants to cut his skin off.
- He threatens you. - He's addicted.
- He's so harsh. - So you just leave him that way?
He's just saying that so I'd listen.
How mean.
- How much did it cost so far? - I'm guessing a lot.
- How much did it cost each time? - It costs a lot.
The rates are different depending on design and method.
It cost about 15,000 dollars in total.
- You knew about the amount? - Yes.
- Incredible. - My gosh.
It didn't cost 15,000 dollars at once.
- I bet. - It cost 15,000 dollars over a few years.
Besides, I made 15,000 dollars myself,
- so I don't think... - What are you talking about?
- there's any problem. - It's okay since you made it?
What does that mean?
A complete nonsense.
(How dare you try to deceive people here.)
I guess he's confident with other things.
He insists that he made the money himself.
He goes out 365 days in a year.
It's not for work. He leaves to hang out.
What does he do?
He meets his friends and hangs out.
Over a course of six months, he got a phone bill of...
1,800 dollars from playing games.
- 1,800 dollars? - Yes.
- At once? - That's why...
my mom once paid for his phone bills.
- Your mom paid the bills? - My goodness.
Moreover, when he got his first paycheck,
he said he'd get a motorcycle.
- With his paycheck? - Yes, with his first paycheck.
He was planning to get it,
but he was swindled.
- Oh, dear. - The motorcycle was a fraud?
Yes, he was swindled.
What is that? There's nothing you did right.
About hanging out... Men need social life.
- I'm managing my connections. - Manage connections?
About my mother-in-law paying my phone bills...
That was several years ago. It was in the past.
I don't drink alcohol these days,
and people tell me...
that I've become a new man.
If he has actually become a new man,
- I wouldn't have... - You wouldn't be here.
come here. That's right.
People pick a fight with him because of his tattoos.
My husband and I were taking the metro one day.
Just by seeing at his tattoos, a man asked,
"How many crimes have you committed?"
- "What crime did you commit?" - What a weird man.
- Seriously. - I guess he wasn't scared of him.
One day, my husband went to a pub to grab a drink.
Another person picked a fight with him because of...
- his tattoos. "It's filthy." - "Who are you with?"
- "Gosh, it's filthy." - "It's filthy."
Saying that they're filthy, he picked a fight with him,
and they ended up having a fist fight.
- A fist fight. - They went to the police station.
They picked a fight and fought there too.
Could you pronounce that more softly?
You pronounce the word too hard.
They picked a fight.
All right.
Many people of different occupations...
get tattoos these days.
- Including Roy Kim. - Exactly.
He got a phone bill of 1,800 dollars,
and he goes out every day even though he has kids.
In fact, you do those things in your early and mid 20s.
- When you're young. - People don't do that later on.
- When you dated... - I got married...
I got married a bit young.
How old were you?
We started dating when I was 16,
and when I was 18, I got married...
- after having a baby. - You got married young.
You got married really young in life.
- Are you two of the same age then? - Yes.
- Are you 24 years old now? - You're 24?
- You're both 24 years old? - You're young.
She said it's been six years since they got married.
In terms of age, he's at the phase of partying.
- He's at an age of partying. - Oh, my.
- He's supposed to party now. - We can say nothing.
Then...
How many children do you have?
We have 1 girl and 1 boy.
- 1 girl and 1 boy? - My gosh.
- Your daughter is 6? - Her son is 4 months old.
- The age gap is big. - Your son is four months old.
Yes, so when my daughter went to daycare,
I distanced myself from the other parents.
You were daunted without any reason.
Being close with them meant I needed to reveal my age,
and if they see his tattoos, they'll have a prejudice.
I was afraid that my daughter would be judged too.
There are always two sides to every story.
Since you had to raise your family at a young age,
there must have been a difficulty for both of you.
In your opinion, what were you upset about?
I'm sure childcare is tough for her,
but she relieves her stress with me.
When she was pregnant with our son,
she told me that her life was ruined because of me.
That was quite upsetting.
My morning sickness involved vomiting.
I kept vomiting even by swallowing my saliva.
- How tough. - I couldn't even drink water.
I vomited my gall bladder and crawled every day.
The cystic bile. You didn't vomit your gall bladder.
- It's the cystic bile. - That's right.
I used to tell him that I might die 10 times a day.
Even then, he talked about tattoos.
How immature of him.
That's when you told him the resentful remark.
- That's right. - You couldn't hold in your anger.
He forgot about everything he did before.
You only remember what you heard?
That's right. My daughter knows what tattoos are now.
She knows that you can't erase them.
- Your daughter does. - Yes.
She doubts why others don't have tattoos.
"Only my dad has tattoos. Why is that?"
She's at an age to have such suspicion.
He's too complacent with that.
What will you do if your child wants to get a tattoo...
- after seeing yours? - The other way?
"You get tattoos, so I'll get one here as well."
- What would you do? - Exactly.
- Both of your kids. - They appeal to you all year.
They behave better than usual too.
As a parent, I'd be upset.
- Is that so? - Yes.
- Why do you think you'll be upset? - Exactly.
- You think tattoos are fancy. - That's right.
You want people to think differently about them.
You should accept your son's tattoos. Why be upset?
It's because he's my son.
Come on.
It's about people's perception, not your child.
- You said people must think differently. - Wait,
pass the mic over there...
- to the mother beside him. - The mother.
Pass the mic to the mother beside him.
(Me?)
She's the perfect one.
What do you think?
Does he make any sense or what?
I wonder if others felt this way upon hearing my story.
(We're glad that you understand how we felt.)
Ma'am.
You finally put yourself in other people's shoes.
You were 1,000 times worse than him.
It was harder for us to listen to you.
It really was.
Everyone is watching you now.
Why don't you tell us how you honestly feel?
Let's confess your honest feelings.
You can start first.
I came all the way here because...
I wanted to protect...
your thighs.
She came here to protect her husband's thighs.
She wants to protect his skin.
I want us to live happily...
while worrying about ordinary things.
I hope you will really listen to her.
Right now,
when you go swimming with your kids,
you're still fine.
- You can wear a rash guard. - A rash guard.
When you wear swimming shorts with it,
your tattoo will be covered, and you'll be fine.
- But if you get your thighs inked, - No.
you have to wear a full-body swimsuit.
- A full-body swimsuit. - Like a diver.
He has to wear a full-body swimsuit like a swimmer.
(Is he up for that?)
You heard her wish.
Her wish is that you don't get your thighs tattooed.
- Can you promise her? - I want to do it,
but if she doesn't want it, I won't do it.
- What are you saying? - Stop persuading her.
- You must stop. - I won't.
Will you not do it ever again?
I will not persuade her.
But if she gives me permission, I want to do it.
- Do you want to give him permission? - No.
I want him to stop talking about tattoo.
I'm going to go nuts if you do one more time.
(That's how serious she is.)
- By the way... - Make her a promise.
- Tell her you won't do it. - You...
threaten her indirectly.
You said you'd rather get rid of it.
- Don't say such thing. - That's...
such an irresponsible thing to say...
as a father and as a husband.
The fact that you came here is very serious.
I can promise that.
Make her a promise that you won't do it.
(She's excited.)
I won't do it.
Is he never going to get another tattoo?
(Please keep your promise!)
Instead of filling your body with tattoos,
- fill your wife's heart with love. - Yes.
Tattoos won't do it. Just go to good restaurants.
Just fill your stomach with good food.
Let's start voting.
- Right. - Do you sympathize with her?
- Hyun Min. - I thought it was a worry.
- But he changed in the end. - He made a promise.
I believe he will keep his promise.
So I don't think it's a worry anymore.
You might be shocked to hear this.
But those tattoos don't look great.
- It's true. - I mean it.
Regardless of gender,
people won't be jealous of you for that.
I'm thankful that he made a promise.
But he might change his mind again, so...
- I think it's a worry for his wife. - It's a worry.
- How about you, Roy? - You have a tattoo too.
- Well, I... - Tattoo Kim.
(He became speechless.)
His is too small.
The quantity is too different.
His is really tiny.
It's been a tough day for him.
But she was right...
about everything.
So it's a worry.
When you are tired of your job...
- at the auto shop, - Yes.
You can go work at her hair salon.
(She's too fierce.)
It's your turn to vote.
If you think it's a worry, please press the button.
(What does the audience think?)
- 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
- Stop. - Stop.
Press the button.
He might want something too.
You can say your resolution too.
Honey, we got married early.
It must've been tough...
to be such a young mom.
- It's nothing embarrassing. - Yes.
I hope you will get to...
mingle well with other mothers.
I hope you will step out to the world...
with confidence.
All right.
When your first daughter grows up,
don't order her around too much.
Okay.
- It went back to her. - Right.
Let's see how many votes she got.
Please reveal the result.
(The result)
("A Thorough Man")
The last digit is three.
Is it over 100?
93.
Congratulations.
"Extreme Life"...
won this week.
We'll give the winner a 1,000-dollar gift certificate.
Congratulations.
Gammy.
- It's "Gummy". - "Gummy".
- "Gammy"? - What's wrong with you?
I hate myself too.
- All right, Gammy. - It was a little tough.
But everyone looked happy.
So I felt rewarded.
Please come again.
Roy aged a little.
I feel like my mustache grew.
- You look tired. - You do.
Until the day we are all worry-free,
Hello will continue to counsel you.
Thank you!
("Suddenly" by Roy Kim)
